Flight Carbon Offset Calculator
Flight Carbon Offset
Calculate the carbon emissions from your flight and the cost to offset them through carbon credits.
Formula
CO2 (tons) = Distance (km) x Emission Factor x Class Factor x Trip Multiplier; Offset Cost = CO2 Tons x Price Per Ton
Frequently Asked Questions
How much CO2 does a flight produce?
A round-trip economy flight from New York to London produces about 1 to 1.5 metric tons of CO2 per passenger, roughly equal to driving 3,000 to 4,000 miles.
Why does business class have higher emissions?
Premium cabins take up more floor space per passenger, meaning fewer people per flight. Business class produces about 3 times more emissions per passenger than economy.
Do carbon offsets actually help?
Quality carbon offsets fund projects like reforestation and renewable energy. Look for Gold Standard or Verified Carbon Standard certifications for credible offsets.
